SCORBASE for Windows

Watch a 4 minute demo of ScoreBase

SCORBASE for Windows robotics and cell control language is the most popular software for robotics and FMS training and education in the world today. With more than 10,000 robots in schools of various levels, millions of students have learned their robotics and FMS subjects with SCORBOT robots operated by SCORBASE robotics and FMS language. The most important feature is the division of the robot functions into various menus (or modes), according to the various robotic functions, such as Edit Program Menu, Teach Positions Menu, Run Program, etc...

User Friendly Man-Machine Interface - SCORBASE is famous for being a user-friendly, easy to operate software, which requires no previous programming experience. The MMI enables the students to master this easy-to-use software in a very short time, while containing all industrial robotic commands in simple-to-understand English. It is designed to lead students from the basic programming commands, through to advanced programming techniques. SCORBASE is an ideal tool for off-line programming, thus enabling students to edit and test their programs in off-line mode prior to running them with the robot itself. This off-line feature enables 3-4 students to share one robot during every lab hour - truly an economical advantage!

Icon Based - most of the more frequently used commands in SCORBASE for Windows are operated by merely clicking on an icon. Some of these commands are home, go to position, go linear to position, open gripper, close gripper, turn on output, run single cycle, run continuously, and many more...

Edit Window - a window in which the editing of a new program is executed. All Windows editing features, such as insert line, delete line, etc, are used here. SCORBASE edit program contains commands to control the SCORBOT robot arm and peripherals (go to position, close gripper, open gripper, etc), program flow commands (wait X seconds, set variable, set and call subroutine, etc), and commands to control the robot's FMS environment via inputs and outputs (turn on/off output, if input on jump, set analog output, etc).

SCORBASE Command List Window - a window containing a list of all the SCORBASE commands, so there is no need for the students to learn them by rota. Clicking on the desired command from the command list will open that command in the edit window. Each command in the command list can also be initiated by using various function keys. For example, to initiate the command "Go Position", the student can press the keys. Another way to initiate some of the more frequently used commands is to click on the icons as described previously.

SCORBASE Teach Mode opens a set of windows which enable the students to teach the robots' positions. These positions can be taught in various ways: 1. On-line manual movement of the robot to the desired location and recording it as a position. This position is assigned either a number or a name. 2. Off-line positions recording - in off-line mode positions can be taught and recorded by indicating their X Y Z value, or by teaching positions relative to absolute positions, etc.

Teach Positions Window is used to manage the teaching and recording of the robot positions. The robot positions are being taught in various ways, in off-line or on-line mode. The teach position window allows for the recording of positions by assigning numbers or names. This window also enables the robot to be sent to the various recorded positions, thus enabling the user to check the validity of these positions prior to the execution of the complete program.
